Krash

While I think the education part of college is generally overrated in importance by most people, there’s a part of the college experience that I think is underrated: dorm life. Being thrown into a completely new living situation with people who are a lot like you, but also very different from you is an amazing opportunity to learn and grow. What if we had similar opportunities but at different life stages? That’s what Krash is about. They are a Boston, MA based company that offers a “way for founders, entrepreneurs and innovators to rapidly build the supportive personal and professional networks they need to be successful.” They do this by offering immersive co-living experiences in Boston, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC.

I’ve dabbled in co-working, and the not so obvious next step is co-living. A lot of startups actually do this on their own–it’s like the house in the Facebook movie–but Krash is a way to create a similar experience to a “hacker house” for those who might not have access to one. I know the idea probably seems a little weird to you, so check out the Krash FAQ and Stories to learn more about why every Krashpad fills up almost immediately. If you’re inspired, check out Krash’s Careers page. They’re not all that clear on how much experience is needed, but the Associate Director positions in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C look interesting.
